NextSource Materials Inc. (‘NextSource’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX:NEXT,OTC:NSRCF) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Stifel Canada as lead agent and sole bookrunner and Maxim Group LLC as co-agent in connection with a ‘best-efforts’ private placement of 58,823,500 units of the Company (the ‘Units’) at a price of $0.425 per Unit (the ‘Offering Price’) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$24,999,987.50 (the ‘Offering’).
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a ‘Common Share‘) and one-half (½) of one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.55 per Common Share for a period beginning 61 days following the Closing Date (as defined below) and expiring 3 years following the Closing Date.
The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used to advance the UAE Battery Anode Facility, update the Molo technical report and for general corporate purposes as disclosed in the offering document.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (‘NI 45-106‘), the Units will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec, and/or other jurisdictions outside of Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 – Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the ‘Listed Issuer Financing Exemption‘). As the Offering is being completed pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption, the Units issued pursuant to the Offering will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. There is an offering document related to the Offering that can be accessed under the Company’s issuer profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company’s website at www.nextsourcematerials.com. Prospective investors should read the offering document before making an investment decision.
The Company is party to an investment agreement with Vision Blue Resources Limited (‘Vision Blue‘) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted Vision Blue a contractual right to participate in equity financings on the same terms as such financings to maintain its ownership percentage in the Company. The Company will provide the necessary notice to Vision Blue in accordance with the terms of the investment agreement. Although no assurance can be provided, the Company anticipates that Vision Blue will participate in the Offering to maintain their pro-rata equity interest in the Company.
The Company has also entered into an amended and restated loan facility with Vision Blue (the ‘Amended Facility‘) which increased the maximum capacity under the existing facility from US$30,000,000 to US$50,000,000. Drawdowns remain at the discretion of Vision Blue and there is no assurance that additional advances will be available to the Company under the Amended Facility. However, the Company expects that, at closing of the Offering, the Company and Vision Blue will enter into a consent agreement under which Vision Blue will commit to advancing US$5,000,000 under the Amended Facility subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and will extend the maturity date under the Amended Facility to the date that is 12 months following the Closing Date.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about February 24, 2026 (the ‘Closing Date‘) and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
The securities referred to in this news release have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘U.S. Securities Act‘), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, ‘U.S. Persons’ (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent such registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. This news release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities for sale, nor a solicitation for offers to buy any securities.
Related Party Transaction
Vision Blue holds 47.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares (47.5% on a partially diluted basis). Accordingly, the Amended Facility constitutes a ‘related party transaction’ as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘).
The Company is not required to obtain a formal valuation in respect of the Amended Facility. The Company is exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder approval per subsection 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101, as the Amended Facility is on reasonable commercial terms that are not less advantageous to the Company than if the Amended Facility were obtained from a person dealing at arm’s length with the Company and the Amended Facility is not convertible, directly or indirectly into equity of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. The Board of Directors of NextSource, with the exception of Sir Mick Davis (being a Director of Vision Blue) who declared his interest and recused himself, unanimously approved the Amended Facility.

AmeriTrust Financial Technologies (TSXV:AMT,OTCQB:AMTFF,Frankfurt:1ZVA) is a publicly traded fintech company focused on the US$1.6 trillion US automotive finance market. The company has built a proprietary, cloud-based platform that enables vehicle leasing and financing, asset servicing, and remarketing. AmeriTrust’s technology seamlessly connects dealers, consumers, and funding partners through an integrated digital workflow that automates underwriting, approvals, documentation, and funding.
Although AmeriTrust supports both loan and lease products, its primary strategic focus is used-vehicle leasing—a segment that remains largely untapped in the US market. Leasing accounts for roughly 25 percent of new vehicle transactions, yet represents less than 2 percent of used-vehicle sales, which are mostly limited to OEM-certified programs.
AmeriTrust’s scalable model overview:1) Dealers and Lenders submit customers to AmeriTrust.2) AmeriTrust underwrites, approves, funds contract and retains servicing. 3) A-Trust (Bankruptcy remote) sells revenue to finance partners with servicing retained.4) AmeriTrust Serves is a full servicing platform providing data and performance reporting.5) AmeriTrust Auto is a remarketing platform focused on repossessions and lease returns offered at retail direct-to-consumer online versus traditional wholesale methods; 5a) Vehicles not sold through retail are liquidated wholesale at auction.
AmeriTrust positions used-vehicle leasing as a more affordable alternative to traditional retail financing, delivering lower monthly payments and reduced upfront costs for consumers, while unlocking incremental sales opportunities for dealers and compelling risk-adjusted returns for lending partners. Its integrated platform enables the company to capture value across the entire asset lifecycle, rather than depending on a single revenue point.
Company Highlights
- Proprietary fintech platform purpose-built for new and used vehicle leasing, servicing and remarketing
- Strategic focus on used-vehicle leasing, a segment with limited competition compared to new-vehicle leasing
- Licensed across the U.S.
- Proprietary technology integrated into major dealer ecosystems, enabling rapid decisioning and funding
- Management team with decades of experience in specialty auto finance, capital markets and platform scaling

The collapse of merger talks between Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) and Glencore (LSE:GLEN,OTCPL:GLCNF) has ended what would have been the mining industry’s largest-ever deal.
The two companies confirmed last week that discussions over a potential US$260 billion combination had been abandoned after failing to agree on terms that would deliver value for shareholders.
The deal, revived late last year, would have created the world’s largest diversified miner with dominant positions in copper, iron ore, lithium, and cobalt.
Rio Tinto said it was no longer considering a merger or other business combination with Glencore after determining it could not reach an agreement that met its shareholder objectives.
Glencore, for its part, said the proposed terms significantly undervalued its contribution to a combined group, particularly its copper portfolio and growth pipeline.
Shares in Glencore fell sharply following the announcement, briefly dropping more than 10 percent in London trading, while Rio Tinto shares also declined.
Under UK takeover rules, Rio is now barred from making another approach for six months unless granted special permission.
The breakdown marks at least the third failed attempt to combine the two mining giants over the past two decades. Talks were previously explored in 2008 and again in 2014, with another round briefly surfacing in 2024.
This latest effort gained momentum amid a broader wave of consolidation driven by long-term expectations of copper shortages tied to electrification, artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, and energy transition spending.
A combined Rio–Glencore would have reshaped the global mining landscape, pairing Rio’s operational scale and project development expertise with Glencore’s trading arm and exposure to copper and cobalt.
Despite the failed megamerger, dealmaking across the mining sector has continued at pace in early 2026, reflecting sustained pressure on producers to replenish reserves and secure long-life assets.
In January, Zijin Gold International (HKEX:2259,OTCPL:ZJNGF) agreed to acquire Allied Gold (TSX:AAUC,NYSE:AAUC) in an all-cash transaction valued at roughly US$4 billion. The deal gives Zijin expanded exposure to gold assets in Ethiopia, Mali, and Côte d’Ivoire, fitting the Chinese miner’s strategy of international expansion through large-scale, long-life projects.
Elsewhere, Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD) and Foran Mining (TSX:FOM,OTCQX:FMCXF) agreed to combine in a share-based transaction that will create a larger gold and copper producer with two development projects scheduled to enter production in 2026.
The deal brings together Eldorado’s Skouries project in Greece and Foran’s McIlvenna Bay project in Saskatchewan, with the combined group targeting roughly 900,000 gold-equivalent ounces of production by 2027.
Glencore itself has remained active on the divestment side. In Australia, Austral Resources Australia agreed to acquire the Lady Loretta copper mine from Glencore, marking another step in the Swiss-based miner’s ongoing portfolio optimization.
The transaction includes a royalty structure and allows Glencore to retain some upside exposure while exiting a non-core asset.
Rare earths have also featured prominently in this year’s deal flow. Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR,NYSEAMERICAN:UUUU) moved to acquire Australian Strategic Materials (ASX:ASM,OTCPL:ASMMF), a transaction aimed at creating a vertically integrated rare earths producer spanning mining, processing, and alloy production.
The deal includes ASM’s Dubbo project in Australia and its Korean metals plant, which is already in commissioning.
Analysts say the failure of the Rio–Glencore talks does little to dampen the broader consolidation narrative. Copper remains a central focus among producers as long-term supply deficits are widely forecast despite recent price volatility.
Lithium, rare earths, and other critical minerals are also attracting sustained interest as governments and manufacturers seek to secure non-Chinese supply chains.

Southern Silver Exploration Corp. (TSXV: SSV,OTC:SSVFF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Southern Silver’) reports additional assays from drilling which continues to outline extensions of mineralization on the recently acquired Puro Corazon claim and identified further thick intervals of high-grade and strongly silver-enriched polymetallic mineralization.
Highlight assays include:
- a 5.8 metre interval averaging 173g/t Ag, 1.5% Cu, 1.8% Pb and 17.3% Zn (781g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 25CLM-210; and
- a 10.8 metre interval averaging 121g/t Ag, 0.3% Cu, 5.1% Pb and 3.9% Zn (348g/t AgEq), including a 3.1 metre interval averaging 225g/t Ag, 0.6% Cu, 9.4% Pb and 7.1% Zn (642g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 25CLM-210
- a 3.0 metre interval averaging 715g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au, 7.5% Pb and 1.0% Zn (890g/t AgEq)(1) from drillhole 25CLM-212
(1) see AgEq calculation criteria in notes to Table 1. Intervals are reported as estimated true thickness unless otherwise indicated
The drill results, specifically from holes 25CLM-210 and 25CLM-215 continue to extend mineralization to depth, below earlier reported results from the Puro Corazon target as well as testing mineralization toward the southern edge of the claim with drill holes 25CLM-211 to 25CLM-214. Previously released intercepts from this round of drilling include:
- 10.5 metres grading 1,115g/t AgEq (see News Release dated December 1, 2025) from 25CLM-203
- 10.4 metres grading 743g/t AgEq (see News Release dated January 6, 2026) from 25CLM-205; and
- 15.3 metres grading 581g/t AgEq (see News Release dated January 27, 2026) from 25CLM-206
Drilling continues to demonstrate the continuity of the high-grade replacement lens first identified in drill holes 25CLM-203 and 25CLM-205 and has now extended mineralization to a depth of over 360 metres below surface in the main skarn target.
Twenty-one core holes out of twenty-two planned holes have been completed to date and a final hole is in progress. Analyses from fourteen drill holes have now been reported and further assays, including those from underground sampling of the historic Puro Corazon workings, are anticipated over the coming weeks.

Next Steps
The Company is planning to incorporate the results of the Puro Corazon drilling program into the much larger Cerro Las Minitas project which is expected to significantly enhance the project economics. Final assays are anticipated to be received by the end of the first quarter of 2026, after which the Company intends to:
- update the Mineral Resource Estimate of the Cerro Las Minitas project; followed by
- continue to advance baseline data collection and permit readiness review
The Company reports that work on the Cerro Las Minitas project continues advancing numerous upside opportunities identified subsequent to the July 2024 PEA, while also derisking and advancing the project with the commencement of baseline data collection, hydrology, geotechnical, archaeological and land surveys and studies.
As currently modelled, the Cerro Las Minitas project features a large-scale underground mining operation with robust project economics and high gross revenues in a well located and mining friendly jurisdiction in southeast Durango, Mexico.

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (‘Anteros’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce plans for a Phase 1 extension drilling program at the Seagull Critical Minerals Project (the ‘Project’), located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and operated by Rift Minerals Inc. (‘Rift’), under the option agreement announced on October 9, 2025 (the ‘Agreement’), pursuant to which Anteros may earn up to a 49% interest in the Project.
Subsequent to completion of Phase 1 drilling activities, Anteros and Rift have entered into an addendum to the Agreement that provides Anteros with the right, but not the obligation, to conduct a revised Phase 1 extension drilling program at the Project. The addendum provides for Rift to continue as operator and allows expenditures incurred under the revised Phase 1 program to be credited against potential Phase 2 exploration expenditures, should Anteros elect to proceed following receipt of an updated NI 43-101 compliant technical report. Any Phase 1 extension drilling will remain subject to final program design, approved budgets, and field conditions.
The Phase 1 extension follows the completion of drill hole RM26-01, which intersected discontinuous orthomagmatic sulphide mineralization within the basal cumulate sequence between approximately 589 and 608 metres, as well as a gas-bearing interval at approximately 877 metres within a narrow fault zone in Archean basement rocks of the Quetico Subprovince. The gas occurrence is situated at a similar stratigraphic position to gas reported in historical hole WM-01-08 located approximately 100 metres away. The significance, continuity, and composition of the gas remain under evaluation. Sulphide mineralization observed in the basal cumulate sequence is disseminated to locally weakly net-textured. Laboratory assay results from the sulphide-bearing intervals are pending.
Integrated interpretation of drilling and geophysical datasets, including Ambient Noise Tomography (‘ANT’) velocity modelling has been used by Rift to refine the interpreted geometry of the Seagull Intrusion and underlying basement, and is informing evaluation of Phase 1 extension drilling options. These interpretations are preliminary in nature and subject to revision as additional data become available.
The Phase 1 extension is designed to build on drilling observations and integrated geological and geophysical interpretation with the following technical objectives:
-
Continue evaluating orthomagmatic sulphide mineralization associated with Ni-Cu-PGE systems at the basal contact of the Seagull Intrusion.
-
Test the ~877 metre elevation to evaluate the presence and geological context of gas within a sub-horizontal structural feature.
-
Collect samples for laboratory analysis to support evaluation of sulphide mineralization and gas occurrence, where encountered.
The Company is currently evaluating drilling options to pursue these technical objectives while leveraging existing historical drill infrastructure. Given the depth of the target horizons, previously completed drill holes are being assessed as the platforms for any extension drilling to efficiently test mineralization and gas-bearing structures at depth while managing time, cost, and surface disturbance. Phase 1 extension drilling will be subject to final program design, field conditions, and financing.
A geological and geophysical section summarizing the integrated interpretation informing Phase 1 extension planning is shown in Figure 1.

The section is oriented NE-SW and viewed toward the northwest, with historical drill holes shown in projected composite view. The gas-bearing interval (~877 m) and disseminated sulphide interval (~589-608 m) shown along drill hole RM26-01 are observational and based on drilling results. Interpretations are preliminary in nature and subject to revision as additional data become available. The figure is provided for geological context only and does not imply mineral resources, continuity, targeting conclusions, or economic significance.

‘The Phase 1 extension represents a logical next step to build on observations from drill hole RM26-01, including the occurrence of gas and basal sulphide mineralization,’ said Trumbull Fisher, CEO of Anteros. ‘By leveraging existing drill holes, we are able to further evaluate these features and advance our technical understanding of the Seagull Critical Minerals system.’
The Company will provide further updates as program parameters are finalized and additional information becomes available. All observations to date are visual or preliminary in nature, based on limited drilling and geophysical information, and are subject to revision. Laboratory assay results are pending.
ABOUT THE SEAGULL PROJECT
The Project is located approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and covers the interpreted mafic-ultramafic Seagull Intrusion within the Nipigon Basin. Historical exploration between 1998 and 2012 included airborne geophysical surveys and approximately 20,000 metres of diamond drilling, which reportedly intersected disseminated to semi-massive sulphide mineralization containing nickel, copper, and platinum-group elements along parts of the intrusion’s basal contact and reported the presence of naturally occurring gases. These historical results have not been independently verified by Anteros.
In 2024, Rift completed an Ambient Noise Tomography (‘ANT’) survey to refine the internal geometry of the Seagull Intrusion and to identify subsurface velocity contrasts interpreted to reflect lithological and alteration variations. These interpretations remain unverified by Anteros.

Today’s crypto news to know
Tether deepens gold push with US$150 million stake in Gold.com
Tether has made a US$150 million investment in Gold.com, acquiring roughly a 12 pecent minority stake as it moves to broaden access to both tokenized and physical gold.
The deal sets up a long-term partnership that will integrate Tether’s gold-backed token, XAU₮, into Gold.com’s platform and explore ways for customers to buy physical gold using digital currencies such as USDT and the newly launched, federally regulated USA₮.
The move comes as gold prices push above US$5,000 an ounce, reinforcing demand for hard-asset exposure amid geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Tether said the gold-backed stablecoin market has nearly tripled over the past year to more than US$5.5 billion, with XAU₮ accounting for over 60 percent of total market value.
The company says XAU₮ is backed 1:1 by allocated physical gold, with about 140 tons in total held in secure vaults and each token linked to a specific London Good Delivery bar.
Bitcoin breaks below US$70,000 as liquidations accelerate
Bitcoin fell sharply this week, breaking below the closely watched US$70,000 level and trading as low as roughly US$60,300 before stabilizing near US$65,000
The US$70,000 mark had become a crowded positioning zone, and once it failed, mechanically driven selling took over.
In addition, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to 9, its lowest reading in nearly four years, while futures open interest slid toward multi-month lows, signaling defensive positioning rather than dip-buying. “
South Korea tightens scrutiny after Bithumb’s distribution error
South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service has moved to strengthen oversight of crypto exchanges following a major error at Bithumb that briefly flooded user accounts with billions of dollars’ worth of bitcoin.
The incident occurred when customers were mistakenly credited with roughly 2,000 BTC each instead of small promotional rewards, triggering panic selling and a sharp price dislocation on the exchange.
Bitcoin prices on Bithumb fell as much as 30 percent below global levels before trading and withdrawals were halted.
Authorities said the episode exposed “vulnerabilities and risks” in virtual asset systems and raised concerns about internal controls and reserve backing. “It is a case that shows the structural problems of electronic systems for virtual assets,” said Lee Chan-jin, governor of South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service.
Regulators plan to introduce tougher penalties for IT failures and expand monitoring tools that flag suspicious trading patterns in real time.
Of the more than 620,000 bitcoins mistakenly distributed, authorities said nearly all have since been recovered.
FDIC settles FOIA fight over crypto ‘pause letters’
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has agreed to pay US$188,440 in legal fees and drop its effort to withhold crypto-related “pause letters,” settling a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit tied to alleged debanking practices.
The case stemmed from a records request filed by History Associates on behalf of Coinbase, seeking documents that showed how banks were allegedly pressured to halt or limit crypto activities.
A federal court ruled last year that the FDIC violated FOIA by categorically withholding the letters rather than reviewing them individually.
“We successfully uncovered dozens of crypto ‘pause letters’—indisputable proof of OCP2.0,” Coinbase chief legal officer Paul Grewal wrote on X after the settlement.
